(C# UWP/WinRT) Decode from Binary Encoding and Append String

Demonstrates how to decode from a binary encoding (base64, hex, url, etc.) and then append the decoded string to a Chilkat StringBuilder object.

Note: This example uses the new DecodeAndAppend method added in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

// We have the string "MÆRSK" in two forms:

// This is the URL encoding of the windows-1252 representation.
string nameWindows1252UrlEncoded = "M%C6RSK";

// This is the URL encoding of the utf-8 representation.
string nameUtf8UrlEncoded = "M%C3%86RSK";

// Note that the result of loading a string into a string object 
// is the same if we correctly specify the underlying charset encoding.
// In the above example, we have the same string, but in different charset encodings
// subsequently URL encoded.
Chilkat.StringBuilder sb1 = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
bool success = sb1.DecodeAndAppend(nameWindows1252UrlEncoded,"url","windows-1252");

Chilkat.StringBuilder sb2 = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
success = sb2.DecodeAndAppend(nameUtf8UrlEncoded,"url","utf-8");

// sb1 and sb2 both hold the same string.
bool bEqual = sb1.ContentsEqualSb(sb2,true);
Debug.WriteLine("bEqual = " + Convert.ToString(bEqual));

// We can see the string is "MÆRSK" in both cases.
Debug.WriteLine(sb1.GetAsString());
Debug.WriteLine(sb2.GetAsString());
